Revelation from Kane: It’s time for Son Heung-min to bid farewell to Tottenham and go chase the championship?

Son Heung-min, is it time to say goodbye to Tottenham and chase the championship?

Harry Kane's Bundesliga championship at Bayern is just the beginning, and for Son Heung-min, the "champion drought" at Tottenham may have come to an end. In the early morning of May 5, after Bayern Munich won the championship, Son Heung-min liked Kane's post celebrating Bayern's winning of the Bundesliga championship. Perhaps, he fully understood the friend's excitement. Kane cared with Bayern teammates on TV, and the "Crownless Curse" that has plagued him for many years was finally broken.

Kane and Son Heung-min: Kane, who scored countless goals in his career, was once named "King Uncrowned". Even as one of the best shooters in England's history, he always lacks a collective trophy to prove himself. The final defeat at Tottenham and England made the championship dream a trouble. Leaving Tottenham Hotspur to join Bayern in the summer of 2023 has become a major turning point in Kane's career.

Although the German Super Cup loss to Leipzig did not start well, Kane eventually won the 2024/25 Bundesliga championship with Bayern, which not only relieved the pressure but also marked an important milestone, lifting him out of the shadow of a "crownless" star. For Kane, the Bundesliga championship is just the beginning, and he will continue to compete at Bayern, with the goal of defending the Bundesliga. In addition, Kane has more opportunities to compete for the championship, such as this summer's FIFA Club World Cup and the German Super Cup in August.

However, Son Heung-min still did not win any major championships at the club level, and the same is true for the South Korean national team level. The only official champion of his career was the Asian Games gold medal won with the South Korean U23 team in 2018, but this obviously cannot be regarded as an important champion of top football. This season, Son Heung-min experienced an unforgettable stage in the Premier League with Tottenham, with Tottenham ranked 16th, the club's worst result in the past 10 years.

In the next few years, Tottenham has a slim chance of winning the domestic league championship. Son Heung-min's hope is placed on the UEFA Cup. After defeating Bode in the first leg of the semi-finals 3-1, Tottenham has a huge advantage in advancing to the finals.

It's time to leave?

The differences between Kane and Son Heung-min on the road to championship are due to multiple factors. First of all, the transfer to Bayern puts Kane in an environment that is more conducive to winning the championship. Bayern's dominance and strong potential in the Bundesliga is an ideal springboard for Kane to realize his ambitions. Son Heung-min chose to stay in Tottenham, which is in the reconstruction stage of Postkoglu.

Experience this season shows that it is almost impossible for Tottenham to compete with giants such as Liverpool, Manchester City or Arsenal in the domestic arena. After Kane left, Son Heung-min had to take on the responsibility of Tottenham's leader and goal score.

age is also a big problem facing the South Korean striker, who will turn 33 in July. It is time for Son Heung-min to consider new directions in his career to maintain hope and form of winning a major championship. Time is endless, especially in the field of top football. Seeing his friend Kane get rid of the championship drought, Son Heung-min may also feel a little disappointed.

Considering that the contract will expire at the end of the 2025/26 season, Son Heung-min may consider seeking new challenges outside Tottenham. European giant teams are always willing to extend an olive branch to the Korean striker, because in addition to professional ability, "Sunni" can also bring huge commercial value to the Asian market.

If Tottenham cannot win the UEFA Cup this season, then "Sunny" may really be time to follow in the footsteps of his friend Kane and find a platform that will allow him to win the championship trophy.
